The City will issue its Bonds to defray the costs of the Infrastructure Improvements in the such actual principal amount as may be reasonably determined by the City in accordance with fact. SECTION 3. The City will deliver the Bonds as soon as the Developer is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that projected TIF Revenues will provide moneys sufficient to make the Bond payments for such Bonds; however, such portion of the TIF Revenues consisting of ad valorem tax revenues shall be projected by the Tax Assessor of the County (which projection may be obtained prior to the property on which said ad valorem tax revenues are projected being placed on the tax rolls of the County), or shall be projected by a financial advisor or a consultant knowledgeable and experienced in making such projections, and Sales Tax Rebate TIF Revenues shall be certified by the Mississippi Department of Revenue and annualized.

The City covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to issue the Bonds in the amounts, for the purposes and at the times contemplated herein, and covenants and agrees that the Bonds will be issued unless the issuance thereof is prevented by rule of law, commercial inability to issue such Bonds or by the lack of sufficient projected TIF Revenues to provide for the Bond Payments of the Bonds, in the amount provided for herein, as may reasonably be determined by the City in accordance with fact. SECTION 8.

Kemp The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors is considering pursuing a Transportation Alternatives Project (TAP) Grant which will involve a bike and pedestrian connection from the current termini of the Lynn Lane multi-use path at to the MSU campus. This project will be routed along Locksley Way and then eastward on Blackjack Road to the intersection of Stone Boulevard. (see map attached). The proposed improvements would include a 10’ two-way bike lane in the Locksley Way roadway and a 5’ sidewalk along one side of Locksley Way (See attached typical cross section). It is unknown which side of the roadway the sidewalk will be constructed at this time. The proposed improvements along Blackjack Road include a separated 10’ wide concrete multi-use path on the south side of the roadway. The grant application is due by January 26, 2016 with award notice in mid to late April. The University has been included in the initial discussions and they are supportive of the project and the route. Alternative routes to connect to MSU were evaluated; however, this was the most feasible route considering the compressed timeline. TAP grants require a 20% match of the 80% federal funds. The preliminary cost estimate totals approximately $925,000 which includes an $185,000 local match. The County has proposed that the University, County and City partner in equally providing the cash match which would be approximately $62,000 for each entity. These matching funds would be distributed over at least two budget cycles. Also attached is a letter of support indicating the need for the application. SUGGESTED MOTION: Move for approval to authorize the Mayor to sign the support letter for the Locksley Way/Blackjack TAP Application and commitment of providing one third of future matching funds should the grant be awarded by MDOT.
